FOOD SEX ART the STARVING ARTISTS’ COOKBOOK VIDEO SERIES is a compendium of 150 video recordings of artists cooking in the U.S., Europe, and Russia. While expounding on the artists’ relationship between art and life, THE STARVING ARTISTS’ COOKBOOK is also a portrait series on the artist in society; and a video documentation of the socialeconomic condition of the arts community in downtown New York and internationally.  [...]

The intent of The STARVING ARTISTS’ COOKBOOK and VIDEO SERIES was to capture the end of an era—the artist’s lifestyle as exemplified by what he/she cooked and ate. It was clear to us that there was a breakdown of the art community in New York with the privatization of the art world and the birth of the “art star”—we wanted to catch on tape the other side of this story. As artists ourselves we were in direct contact with a diverse group of artists which had connections going back to the fifties—that golden era of the New York art world.

“Advertising people would come up with a way to sing the praises of right-handed scissors for left-handed people,” says Maschmeyer. “Designers would come up with left-handed scissors.”

The Moment Village takes the hypothesis that anything beyond a wink or a nod from a person in one car to a person in another constitutes a communal act and from any point beyond this the village is created. The sequence shows the coming together of cars and support facilities which forms a casual community.

Audience girl: The Asphalt World. There’s a line where he speaks about a Dove, he says that she has a Dove in her hand [sic]. I’d like to know what does it mean. …

Brett Anderson: The Dove, oh right, it’s a pill, it’s a type of pill. … Yes, it’s a type of pill, it’s like a headache tablet. Do you know Paracetamol? Paracetamol? Aspirin?
